Idea for a poeme!


BXB&B! Ich haue devised an excellente planne for a worke of grete literarye merit, and of much sentence and solaas. And school-childer alle across thys grete erth shal reden of thes tales and thanke me for the delite they haue, much more delite than the distiches of catoun shal euere brynge, or even the grapes of wrathe.

Ich shal make a collecioun of tales with a central frame narratif, much lyk the Tenne Dayes of Giovan Boccacce, the whiche ich loue so much that myn copye of yt ys fallynge into fragmentz. But thes tales shalle be tolde nat only by aristocratik sots but by men and womyn of alle estaats (more jokes that waye! whatte ys funnyer than an argument bitwene a sumonour and a friar?).

Honestli, yt ys in sum parte sloth that thus driveth me, for ich haue manye litel wrytynges heere and ther, svch as the tale of the tow yonge knightes and perle harboure, and the vita of Seynte Cecile, that wolde nat selle as independente volumes. But package them wyth severale tales of aventure and slapsticke? Bad-a-bynge, bad-a-boume! A devyce of marketynge moore cunnynge than a foxe that has jvst been made doctour of cunnyng at the universitee of Paris! A devyce of marketynge so clever that yt maketh Bill 3ates look lyk Jessica Simpsoun! Ich am sorrye to be so prideful yn myn herte, but ich am really psychede.

Thogh ich am a man of litel lernynge and thogh ich bere a humble pen that kan nat be compared to the noble style of Cithero or Alanus of Lille or grete Dant who did trauel from helle vp to paradise, nevirtheless ich do beleve myn litel tales shal be a mater of sum discussion and intereste for men and women who shal come aftir me in states vnborne and accentes yet unkennede. And keepyng this in myn consideracioun, ich do thus presente here to yow, gentil rederes, the notes concernynge thes tales that ich made yestermorn at the custoume hous. Myn clerkli mayster in freshman comp did alwey telle me that a wrytyng planne ys always a goode idea, and ich tende to beleve hym since he ys now Archbishop of Canterburie so he must have doon somethynge ryght. So heere is myn wrytng planne. May it plese yow to pardon me the seuerale unrelated nootes ich haue made oute of ire or confusione, or concernynge litel dittees and balades the whiche ich do penne almost constantli. I include al of the mattir, both kernele and chaffe, heere for the sake of Ladye Clio the warde of historyes and bookes, and hopefulli to answere future scholarlyle questiones abovte the ordere and nature of myn tales:

Twere a shame iffe the betyr poete didde nat acknoweledge his dutie to his soveraine lorde.

  44. Cher Geoffrey,

    Rather than addle thine brayne with wede and lose thine yifte of poesie, thou oughte to seken oute some of those Showcase Presents Superman collectiones which have some of the weyrdeste shitte Ich have ever sene in alle myne dayes. In particular, thou oghte to have a robot that is trayned to smasheth cameras somewhere in thyne worke. The tale of Melibee in particular would benefit from the inclusioun of swich matere.

    Also, hastou a livejournal fede?

  45. Mon cher Meistre Chaucer:

    Ich wol adden mi steuen to Aelf, aboute the kyrtle, bot me seemeth thatte the kyrtle oght to sayen:

    "Gladli wol ich lernen, ond gladli techen, bot ich wol nat enditen noon dissertacioun!"

    Yowre seruant,
    Katerine Clare
    (Been ther, doon thatte, maden oth nat to doon so ayein neuer, bot nat gotten the soueneir kyrtle.)

  46. Cher Geffrei,

    Ych moste proteste qwyte thy handlyng of one Cecilie. Darest thou gyve her oure address in Cornehull? Fie upon thee!

    She hast ycum oft be the cote where Kytt & Ich, bothe at mete-tymes and whilst Ich am a-slumbre, raysyng all manere great clamoure and stynke whilst Ich am in composicioune upon myne visiones. Shalt I nevere reaches a Dee? Shalt Ich pourtaye yow moste infellycitousely yclad as a frere?

    In closinge Ich make reqwest humble that ye give Mme Chaumpagne thy trew noumbre and gyve her faire answere. Goddote, yt ys a mere miscomprehensioun.

    Else I shalt render thee a wastour, perhaps to caress a caudel of some unsavourliche Figura. Mayhaps thou shalt lick uppe sayd caudel.

    Amen

    Will

  47. Loveli Chaucer:
    Ich am a younge clerke in studying at the universitie in min toune, and ywis, we have just completede an course directed to the kenninge of this thine outline of thin werke!
    But juste aftere the ende of the Parsoune's Tale methinks thou yseemed depressed, verily, for thou wert not so funnie as thou usuallie art, and thou didst try to take backe almoste alle of thine werkes. Hwy didst thou so? It maketh me sorely sad, certaine, to heare thou renounce thine goodlie and noble stories. Is it possible that thou wert guilt-trippede by the Parsoun?
    With Mucel Love,
    Youre owne trewe student-clerke
    PS: I am trulie sorrie for min spellinge mistakes... they emphasize the spellinge of Latin more than thin Englisch at min schol! But ic guesse thou nolde taken me for an scribenere? Al be I can nat spelle, Ic can copie verie nicelie and have a good hand.

    Shall I compare thine tale to an summer's day?

    No. Your spelling art atrocious, and your grammar also. A plague on all your tales. My plays are better than thine.

    Fo' shizzle, ma nizzle. Innit.

    Word bling bling.

    How come thine head art so bigge?

    PS: Job well done chum. Much laughter in the Lit classroom, and the Lang one also (though those philistines don't quite get it, eh comrade?) Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff, art thou going to tour anytime soon? Perhaps with support from the Pussycat Dolls.

  50. Swiche an excellente idea wold attayne grete literarye merit! A tale of swiche delite wold raught the fer halves of the erthe. Oonly freendes so deere that have goon on pilgrimages may tellen the best tales. Tales of harlotrie, love, hevene, japes, dronkenesse, ironye, and scorned loveres wold be knowen by wightes aboute the lond. Maybe aftir, moore tales wold be tolde by wightes fro the oother londes, amendenyng the japes of al societies and tyme knowen moore and moore! Excellente idea for a poeme! Ich aplod ye.

  51. By Seinte Thomas! What diddest Adam Pinkhurst vnto thee? A rascaleye knave that Adam! Ich preye it nas noone so yvil aas yheered I from my friend, Robyn. A sleigh, queynte churl is he. Thou shouldest ysee what with a hoote kultour he kan! Swiche a goliardeys, he beeth! God blesse thy werk!

  52. Whan that ye booke is preinted and acumen in this sorry world, what assureinces have ye that it shall be spread across the lans and behelden by the little, suffering children? What spein-offs has yon marketeer plans? Televisioun stories? Shirtes of Tee? Toyes for the suffering maidens? Board games for the alehouses? A new ale?

    Absent spein-offs your hopes of posteriority may fade as the shoures of Aprille must dry and vanish, leaving ounly happy memorie.
